De Temps Antan

Hailing from Quebec in Canada, Shoreham’s Ropetackle was a long way from home for De Temps Antan.
But the folk trio showed that they are far from home town boys, wowing the audience with their energetic and in-your-face beats.
The name of the band itself means time and again.
Talking with great warmth, these were lads who clearly enjoyed what they did a whether it was with their voice, on the fiddle, accordian or stamping out a rhythm on the floor so hard that the stage moved.
The result was a energetic, exciting and enigmatic show which inspired you to sit and smile – time and time again.
